Inserting a faviocn for your blogger is easy if you know where to look for. :)
First you need to create a favicon from your existing image. There are lots of online websites which will make a favicon provided you feed them with an image. One of such site is here.
Now the steps:
1. Go to above mentioned site and feed an image you have chosen for your blog's favicon.
2. Make sure you click the check-box which says, Animate Favicon, before pressing the button Generate FavIcon.ico.
3. Download the favicon and unzip it.
4. Now upload your animated_favicon1.gif which is inside folder extra to some image hosting site like picassa or flickr.
5. Copy the link for that favicon in some textpad.
6. Now go to Dashboard of your blogger. Click on Layout. And then click on Edit HTML tab.
7. In the code window, search for </html>.
8. Once you find it, insert this code just above it.
<link href='YOUR-URL' rel='icon' type='image/x-icon'/>
9. Replace YOUR-URL with the address of your image. Click on Save Template
10. Voila! you are done.
